Roads key to development, investment and employment in focus next: Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin

PATNA: (Oct 26) The NDA has focused on good roads as they are key to driving development and ensuring good governance, Bihar's Road Construction Minister Nitin Nabin asserted, as he expressed confidence that the ruling alliance will retain power in the state and focus next on bringing investment and creating employment.

With progress in road and highway development highlighted by the NDA as a major poll issue, the BJP leader said that connectivity was the main challenge the NDA sought to address after coming to power in 2005.

"In 2005, when the NDA government was formed in Bihar, connectivity was a big challenge. If you think about law and order, if you think of development, roads are the first phase of development in any state. And I believe that our Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and our then Minister Nand Kishore did well," Nabin said in an interview with PTI.
